Help making the new MSN Messenger installed without searchbars.

[Oliii]

I want to install the newest Msn Messenger installed silently without any Searchbars included?

How can I do that??

[uvmain]

two ways i guess, maybe three..

1/ install msn, res hack the exe to show no search, take the hacked exe and stick in your $OEM$ folder

2/silently install something like Glass which deletes the adverts and allows for other customizations

3/google for a reg entry, and stick this into your cmdlines.txt .. tho i have no idea about this one, it's just a guess

hope this helps!

Juzman, any chance of you uploading that repackaged version of MSN?

[tarquel]

I doubt it, considering that modifying the exe and releasing it publicly would bring Microsoft down on the person doing it with great vengance most likely

So i wouldnt recomend it

Do it by yourself. patch your MSN, and look at the directory of msn(\programfiles\msn messenger) and look which files are renamed to .backup. that are the orginal files, so you grab the patched files and rar it in a SFX installer and excute it after the unattended install of MSN....

install msn patch it, and make a sfx of ythe patched exe

no need to modify the msi , very useless

I did what SolidasRock said, except used MaSaI installer to edit the original MSN .msi file, that way it has the same installer interface, except install's pre-patched.
